Tall Tales told around the Campfire
Tall Tales told around the Campfire
I’ve been struggling to find the right words. How do you sum up a lifetime of love, strength, and lessons from the person who shaped so much of who you are? My mom was the first person to teach me how to DIY, the first to show me that independence isn’t just about knowing how to do things—it’s about having the confidence to try.... Read More
It’s been a while since I’ve had much to say. Not because I don’t want to, but because sometimes, words feel heavy.
A few weeks ago, life threw a curveball I never saw coming. My mom underwent sudden surgery, and we were hit with the news that she’d need to begin cancer treatments. It’s the kind of thing that stops you in your tracks. One minute, you’re planning, creating, dreaming up new projects, and the next... Read More

Small Steps to Create, Connect, and Live Inspired
Let's be honest, I have a sweet tooth. Like, a serious sweet tooth. Fruit? Eh, not really my thing. Veggies? Tolerable, I guess. But potatoes? Oh, potatoes are a staple of every dinner. But chocolate? Well, that's a whole other level of obsession! I blame my mom. It's clearly genetic.
Growing up, I watched my mom nightly as she indulged in her night time tradition of a small glass of ice cream topped with an excessively generous amount Hershey's syrup. .... Read More

Let's be honest, who doesn't love the thrill of a giveaway, especially when the prize involves taking your crafting equipment to the next level? As a laser engraving enthusiast stuck in diode laser purgatory, the chance to win OmTech's newest CO2 Hybrid laser in their ThanksGiveaway had me hitting that "enter" button faster than you can say "engraving upgrade."
This wasn't your run-of-the-mill social media contest, though. It was like an engraver's obstacle course: Like, Follow, Comment, Share, Repeat... Read More

Hi there, I'm Celicia, the proud owner of North Country Rustics, and I'm excited to share my story with you! My journey into the world of Arts & Crafts didn't begin with a grand plan or a clear vision of where I wanted to end up. In fact, it started in the most ordinary of places: my home. As a stay-at-home mom, my days were filled with the beautiful chaos of raising children, managing a household, and trying to find moments of peace amidst the madness. But in the midst of all that, I found myself overwhelmed with the stress of dealing with my child's Epilepsy diagnosis. Read more...
